Hike #14: Seeking Portáš (Czechia)

in Photography Lovers3 years ago (edited)

Hi there!

This is the second day of my multi-day hike, this time following the borderline between Czechia and Slovakia back in May 2020, when flowers were still in blossom and meadows were intensively greenish. Want to find out what Portáš is, or just to reminisce a bit? Keep on reading then ;-)

If you have missed the first day of the trek by any chance, you can read it in my previous post here.

Flora

What a gorgeous and protected little flower, the Orchid❤️

Looks like a castle?

No clue what it is but its dry fruits look awesome!

What a sleepy doggie. No signs of any movement :-D

Things getting dangerous now! A blindworm trying to escape/attack(?).

Portáš. Restaurant, hotel, chalet. They are supposed to have the Portáš beer on tap. Unfortunately, closed (->covid) during my visit. Next time then.

Karolinka. Swimming not allowed, serves as water reservoir.

Malý Javorník (1019m), the highest peak of this hike. Sadly, no outlook there.

Refreshments

Having Budweiser (Budvar) beer and traditional cabbage soup at Kohůtka restaurant.

At last! Portáš, beer named after protectors of mountains of the Wallachia (Valašsko) region. Found purely by accident in Halenkov.

:D Pravda, je to v podstatě moje rutina: když projdu vyšší trávou, houštím apod, hned se prohlédnu, zvykl jsem si na to, rychlovka. Naštěstí jsou klíšťáci celkem blbí, takže se nepoučí a jsou snadno hnedka odhalitelní zejména na nohách :)

Your photography is awesome!

😮👍 Thanks!

Super trasa, tu musím někdy vyzkoušet, až na ty klíšťata teda 😨! A nádherné fotky.

Na Kohútce prý mají výborné borůvkové knedlíky, máš už odzkoušeno?

Fajn, že se někdo inspiruje 😯 Měl jsem tam jen pivo a polívku, bo korona, ale asi je tam měli v nabídce, pravda! Díky za tip na příště 😄

Dzięki! Once they open the border and days get longer, you can expect some hike report from Polish mountains 😏
